Tile Map Service

A Tile Map Service (TMS) is a standardized way for online maps to deliver geographic images in small, square pieces called tiles. These tiles are provided at various zoom levels, allowing users to smoothly zoom in and out without loading entire maps at once. When you view a map online, your device fetches only the necessary tiles for your current view, ensuring fast loading and efficient use of data. TMS enables consistent, scalable, and accessible map presentation across different platforms and applications.
